System Requirements

Minimum Requirements

CPU: 2 cores
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 10GB available space
Network: Stable internet connection

Recommended for Production

CPU: 4+ cores
RAM: 8GB+
Storage: 50GB+ SSD
Network: High-bandwidth connection
Load Balancer: For high availability

Scaling Considerations

For high-traffic deployments (>10,000 requests/day), consider:

Horizontal scaling with multiple instances
Database optimization with read replicas
CDN integration for static assets
Caching layers with Redis clusters

Architecture Considerations

Environment Configurations

Development Environment

# docker-compose.dev.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
  chatnio:
    image: programzmh/chatnio:latest
    environment:
      - DEBUG=true
      - LOG_LEVEL=debug
      - AUTO_RELOAD=true
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./logs:/logs

Production Environment

# docker-compose.prod.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
  chatnio:
    image: programzmh/chatnio:stable
    environment:
      - DEBUG=false
      - LOG_LEVEL=info
      - SECURE_HEADERS=true
    deploy:
      replicas: 3
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 2G
        reservations:
          memory: 1G

Security Considerations

Network Security

Firewall configuration for required ports only
VPN access for admin interfaces
SSL/TLS encryption for all communications
Rate limiting to prevent abuse

Application Security

Strong passwords for admin accounts
JWT secret rotation for session security
API key management for AI providers
Content moderation for user inputs

Database Security

Encrypted connections between services
Regular backups with encryption
Access controls and audit logging
Data retention policies

Monitoring and Maintenance

Essential Monitoring

System metrics: CPU, memory, disk usage
Application metrics: Response times, error rates
Business metrics: Usage patterns, costs
Security metrics: Failed logins, suspicious activity

Maintenance Tasks

Regular updates of CoAI.Dev and dependencies
Database maintenance and optimization
Log rotation and cleanup
Backup verification and testing
Security audits and vulnerability scans

Deployment Checklist

Before going live, ensure you've completed:

Environment setup with proper resources
Security configuration with SSL and firewalls
Database setup with backups configured
AI provider configuration with valid API keys
Monitoring setup with alerts configured
Testing with load testing and security scanning
Documentation for operations team
Backup and recovery procedures tested
